Weather Briefing
MVFRAgartala - Maharaja Bir Bikram Airport is currently reporting marginal VFR (MVFR) conditions with scattered clouds at 1,800 feet and 5 km visibility.
Wind Analysis
Winds are from the south (180°) at 5 knots. Runway 18/36 is favored with a 5-knot headwind and 0-knot crosswind component.
Visibility & Ceiling
Visibility is 5 km, below VFR minimums in some airspace classifications. Check local requirements before departing VFR. No ceiling exists. Cloud layers reported: scattered at 1,800 ft, scattered at 2,500 ft.
Temperature & Moisture
Temperature is 35°C (95°F) with a dewpoint of 26°C, indicating moderate moisture conditions. High temperatures at this elevation may result in significant density altitude effects. Pilots should calculate density altitude and adjust performance expectations accordingly.
Forecast Outlook
The TAF forecast covers the next 9 hours. Conditions are expected to remain MVFR throughout the forecast period. Expected weather includes: Haze. Temporary MVFR conditions are forecast between 10:00Z and 14:00Z.
Pilot Recommendations
VFR pilots should exercise caution. Consider filing IFR if instrument rated, or postponing the flight if conditions are expected to deteriorate further.
This briefing is generated from real-time METAR and TAF data. Always verify with official sources before flight.

About Agartala - Maharaja Bir Bikram Airport
Overview
Maharaja Bir Bikram Airport serves Agartala, the capital of Tripura state in northeastern India. Located at 46 feet above mean sea level, this medium-sized airport provides critical transportation infrastructure for the region, connecting this northeastern state with other parts of India.
Flying Conditions
Pilots should anticipate predominantly challenging instrument meteorological conditions, with 58.5% of observations indicating IFR and 13.6% LIFR conditions. Temperature variations range significantly from 9°C to 36°C, with an average of 24.7°C, suggesting potential thermal fluctuations that could impact aircraft performance.
Notable Features
The airport features two runways: a 7500-foot asphalted runway (18/36) and another with unspecified length (05/23). Wind patterns are characterized by northerly prevailing winds at an average of 4.2 knots, with calm conditions occurring 32.3% of the time. Visibility is typically excellent, averaging 10 statute miles with minimal occurrences of restricted visibility.
Approach Considerations
Both runways demonstrate favorable wind alignment, with 100% wind compatibility. The average crosswind is minimal (3kt for 05/23, 2kt for 18/36), providing relatively straightforward approach conditions. January, September, and October consistently offer the most favorable visual flight conditions for operations.
